You know, my heart broke just a little to see that this hasn't been finished or even updated recently.

Ah well, I enjoyed your take on this and feel that you had a rather interesting set up for the finale here. I'd really like Enishi to learn what he did in another life...I think it would give him something to think on/work on/work around.

Nifty.
So... looking forward to the next chapter whenever life eases up on its choke hold.
(Apart from Aiden, I really love all the characters. I'm curious about Shinnosuke. I'm *really* happy with the new Kenshin. Also very happy about the stronger Kaoru.)
Fantastic story-telling. I'm really loving how Kaoru is carving out a new life even if she's only trying to keep afloat. I'm glad though, that in the last chapter, she's moving forward. Allowing herself to live. It's been a very eventful day.
(And THANK GOODNESS you explained Kenshin before the break! I would have gone mad wondering!)
Well. Thank you for posting all of that. I do hope eventually for another chapters, but I realize, hey, life first. Cheers!

After reading these stories, I was really looking forward to the next chapter, but sadly, I then checked the last time you updated... Ah well... Stopped just as we were going somewhere incredibly intriguing, but great plot and writing!

I was perusing through some old fanfiction I've read in the past and came across your story. You haven't updated in years, which I think is a shame because I think your storyline, character development, grammar, writing style - just about everything is on par with Linay (one of my most favorite Kenshin writers). You've got a wonderful way of writing that just draws in the reader right away into your world. And you develop the story in such a unique direction that I can confidently say that there isn't a story like this out in the fanfiction world. Again, I think it's a shame this story hasn't been updated in so long, it's honestly one of the BEST kenshin fanfics ever. I really, sincerely, (desperately) hope that you will take up writing for this story again. I'm dying to know what will happen next!

I had to review this chapter once I saw the epigram. I'm pretty sure it's by Shel Silverstein, although I haven't read it since I was in elementary school. It's adorably cute, and to see it again after so many years really made my day. -
